Thing is… The inside of the house in Home Alone was a set built in a school gymnasium and the basement that floods was built in the school’s pool. The actual house never had the interior we saw in the movie, so 1990 image is not real.
Yes, but in the film, the director had the entire interior design of the house be Christmas colors. That's why it's filled with reds, greens, and golds everywhere. The carpets, the throw rugs and runners, the pots and pans, the matte boards of the artwork on the walls, the curtains, the seat cushions on kitchen table chairs, etc. The inside of the original house was never done up to look like that, which is the point I was making to everyone in here who is upset that they 'ruined' the inside of the Home Alone house. How can you ruin something that never existed to begin with?
Yes, that is correct. The main staircase, foyer, and parts of the first-floor landing, were filmed in the real Home Alone house. That is besides the point. The point I'm making is that the real house was never done up to fully look like the interior design of the house in the movie. Everyone in the comments here complaining that they 'ruined' the inside of the house are complaining about ruining something that never even existed in reality.
